Somewhere, Dr. Freud is laughing. Your therapist basically said "you want to be depressed; you're incompetent"-when the case in reality, it would seem to me, was more like your therapist was incompetent (and mean and nasty). Projection, anyone? It's especially difficult when someone you trust/need to trust screws over you. It's a relationship, and like all relationships, things can happen and you get hurt, sometimes, badly. But that's what your T was trained to know. Please don't blame yourself-and being deadly realistic, you're so much better off without her-even though it was an expensive lesson. There have been many, many posts on the low percentage of good therapists available. Lucky you, you got a stinker. :>} Please take care.
